vista over xp


Recommended Posts

Upgrading from Windows XP to Vista build 9 is a supported upgrade path, but it is not a recommended thing to do, since unknown glitches can take place that will make it complex to remedy. Clean install is recommended, just create a partition launch the setup in XP and choose the blank partition on which install install Vista. You should see an option to click Custom at that point.
